I have many years of writing and thus, I have a lot of writings. Since I cycle topics, I had many new Sappho poems and I know I will have more. Since I have a new shop and I am uploading many free gifts such as my free poetry collections, I added my new Sappho poetry to my old eBook. I also did minor edits, added some features, upgraded the design, added decorations, and more.
I have uploaded the free Ode to Sappho eBook to my new Payhip shop. If you are a fan of Sappho, read it and tell me what you think. On this eBook, I discuss my belief, that Sappho is the mother of love songs and that we are still under her poetic influence.
Though you can download this PDF for free, you can pay what you want if you would like to support this blog and our new shop.
Let me know what other ancient voices you want to hear, though Sappho is one of a kind. I have been preparing to write about Hecate.
I would love to know what you think about this eBook, and I will be sharing the Sappho poems soon.
In the hallowed halls of history, one voice dared to sing of a different truth. A voice that was meant to be silenced, yet whose echo has grown only stronger across millennia. Sappho of Lesbos, the Tenth Muse, gave language to the sacred depths of the feminine heart, to love that dared not speak its name, and to a passion that defied the confines of her time.
Her world was one of fragments, scorched papyrus and whispered verses, but her spirit is an unbroken flame.

I will soon add my This is Pisces Poetry free poetry collection, so return for more free reads, additionally, I have a free journal and I have other free poetry collections I will be adding with some time (because I am too busy right now and I apologize but I do not have any more time than this at the moment.)
My new Payhip shop (where you can download the Sappho eBook for free) is dedicated to tending that ancient flame of the poetess.
Here, we channel the raw emotion, divine beauty, and defiant spirit of Sappho and the divine feminine into creations that bridge the ancient and the modern. Every offering and free gift is more than a product; it is an artifact of a continued legacy and also goddess inspired.

I will hold my book in my hands, this is a visual I got since childhood and I cannot stop what I do, especially now that I work for Aphrodite, but if you like my writings, then I appreciate you and may the goddess bless you.
I have not needed to journal lately, yet here I am with my newest goddess poetry and another parallel project (later, it’ll be harder to find even more lost poems, I am organizing the important ones).
On this blog I will expand on all these goddesses, and we will do a huge deep dive. So, let us get inspired by the goddesses.
This poem started it all. Artemis, a goddess I had wanted to write about for a long while. I learned a lot about Artemis before I could write this little poem. Yet I will be writing more to add to it.
Aphrodite
I will need to dedicate an entire post to this poem.
This poem just ended up talking about Aphrodite and Dionysus. It was unintended. We will talk more about this topic as well.
One of these ancient goddesses of love was the first nudist whether it was Aphrodite or not. I do not know who the first one was. I mean in an alternate to the bible reality.
In the bible, the first nudist is Eve.
One good way to observe Aphroodite is nude and also with foot on ground as the ancients did in Rome for the Venus festival per the ancient Roman poet whose reference one day I will find again because I lost it.
Athena
PDF of the collection will be available once I am done adding poems to it.
I am a poetess. This means I am a poet who writes from her femininity. It also means I have a connection to history. Poetess is a word you find in ancient history, which also means it is a word that is connected to ancient mystery.
Poetry is alive and well, thanks for asking
As a mouthpiece for poetry, I am not humble about my relationship with poetry. Which doesn’t mean that I am egotistical about poems I write, because they don’t belong to me, poems simply exist, I hear them, then, since they’re energy, I translate them into words.
My poetry, comprised of thoughts I hear, spirit talk, my conversations with Venus, inspired inspiration, channeled stuff, thoughts that come through, and more. I have made myself open to the lady poetry and as a humble (I was not humble in the previous paragraph, but I change fast lol) slave to poetry, poetry showers me with all kinds of creations.
Poetesses have evolved, but we’re not extinct
I am Cuban, Spanish my first language. Spanish is a gendered language, which means I am very comfortable using language that exposes my gender, example “amiga” female friend vs “amigo” male friend, I am an “amiga”. I don’t feel uncomfortable, at all, about gendered language including the feminine form of a noun that describes me, or the adjectives that are used to describe me.
In fact, I am very proud to be a female, and I do mostly everything from my femininity.
I do not like this new drive to be masculine and I do not resonate with it.
I also do not believe that using feminine words takes anything from me, on the contrary. Know I am not a poet, I am a poetess. Ready to fall is Love?
Poetess poetry
Free my light From the claws of the dark The darkest darks, The sad implants I've received this life. Free my light, And earn my Love.
Why are Poetesses dangerous?
Poetess write with the heart: Beating blood stains her verse. Her Love is a superpower, She fears no emotion, Her expression pure and raw. A poetess has a connection, Secret, but connected to the divine. Pure mystery, what is feeding her?
The Mystery of Poetry
Beloveds, I am but a simple mouthpiece, through me come poetry, but understanding is not of our dimension. I do not understand the mystery of poetry, I simply know there is mystery here.
I study this mystery, and I will continue to talk about this mystery and any clue I find, I will share, of course.

I love tarot, oracles, and poetry. I also love Ancient Greece, history, and digital design.
I have created a Greek Tarot. I was not going to share these like this, but why not?
My grand idea is to create a poem for each card and make these The Poetess tarot oracle cards. Real cards. I spent hours working on this project, so, if you would like to use these cards, work with me.
The poem will be short and will go in the blank space. This will be the background.

I will work with Aphrodite on the messages. She is my muse, gives me poetry, but today she expressed interest in Aphrodite oracles, to which I responded with delight. You will see those very soon.
PS,
My birthday is coming, and it is a big celebration on this blog, as of course, this blog is me. As usual, I will celebrate with poetry about me.
This time I have something super special prepared. Completely free, a huge poetry PDF. It’s called:
This is Pisces Poetry – Eve’s Poetry PDF (Sample)
These will be available for download on our Facebook poetry page Alma Poeta, totally free, check it out and find Confessions of an AI Lover and other poems by me and Spanish poetry PDFs available to download today.
There are only about 2 poems dedicated to Pisces itself in this collection, it is rather about the wonderful poetry born during Pisces season. The thing about Pisces poetry is that it is super romantic, very mystical, fantasy like, and kind of kinky, that both surprised me and didn’t!
Never mind that Cuba poem with Fidel Castro, that doesn’t go with the Pisces vibe, that is just my activism!
Sapho is the poetess of poetesses. I wrote a love poem for her to honor her since she is famous for writing love poems for women.
Sappho is said to have inspired the term lesbian because she was from the island of Lesbos and wrote poems for other ladies. She also wrote for men and there is not much history.
I was offended that autocorrect changed poetess to some other word.
The Word “Poetess”: A Forgotten Gem in Language and Why It Deserves a Revival
The word “poetess” evokes a sense of beauty, grace, and history, conjuring images of women who shaped poetry through the ages. While this term was once used to describe a female poet, it has largely fallen out of fashion in modern times. As we explore the ancient roots of this word, why it faded from use, and why it still holds a unique allure, we uncover a rich narrative of gender, art, and language.
Ancient History of “Poetess”\
Ode to Sappho, ancient poetess
I created a free eBook to honor the greatest poetess in all of history. Download the free PDF through this link:
The word “poetess” can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome, where poetry was a revered art form. Female poets were rare but highly respected, such as the famous Sappho of Lesbos, often regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets of antiquity.
The term itself began to gain prominence in English in the 16th and 17th centuries, as poetry became a significant part of European courtly life. Many women who expressed themselves through verse were given the title of “poetess,” a label that both honored their craft and subtly highlighted their gender. It acknowledged their talent while placing them in a separate category from male poets.
Why “Poetess” Fell Out of Use
By the 19th and 20th centuries, the word “poetess” began to carry a different weight. It became associated with a certain patronizing tone, as if female poets were less serious or skilled than their male counterparts. This shift was partly due to the changing social dynamics of the time—women were entering the literary world in greater numbers, and they sought to be recognized simply as “poets,” without the added layer of gender distinction.
The feminist movements of the 20th century further propelled this change. Many women rejected the term “poetess” as it seemed to reinforce a division between male and female creativity, implying that women’s poetry was somehow different or secondary. As equality became the goal, the neutral term “poet” was adopted by women and men alike, with “poetess” seen as outdated and unnecessary.
Why “Poetess” is Beautiful
Though the word “poetess” is seldom used today, it retains a certain beauty and elegance. Its very sound is melodic. More than that, “poetess” carries with it a sense of history, reminding us of the many women who wrote under difficult circumstances, sometimes with little recognition.
The term honors the feminine energy in poetry, which can be nurturing, passionate, intuitive, and fierce. While “poet” is a gender-neutral term that promotes equality, “poetess” offers a nod to the powerful, unique voice of women who have shaped the poetic landscape. It doesn’t diminish their work but instead celebrates the essence of femininity within the craft.
In a world where we often seek to blur distinctions in pursuit of equality, there’s something special about words that acknowledge the feminine presence without devaluing it. “Poetess” is one such word—a celebration of both poetry and womanhood, a reminder that there is beauty in difference, not inferiority.
A Call for Revival
Reclaiming the word “poetess” doesn’t mean we return to an era of gendered titles. Instead, it’s a way to celebrate the legacy of women poets throughout history. It reminds us that art, like language, evolves, and there’s power in acknowledging the past while embracing the future.
Using “poetess” today can be a statement of pride, a nod to the creative feminine spirit that has shaped much of our literary history. It is a word that holds layers of meaning—strength, elegance, artistry—inviting us to remember the women who paved the way in poetry.
In the end, the word “poetess” is not obsolete but rather a forgotten gem, one that can still shine brightly when used with reverence and understanding.
